Well, you can guess my official opinion, but here it is for future
reference:
Executive Summary: The petition itself should not have been posted, and
certainly not a debate of the topic
The theme of this list is "with a
little help from my friends", let's keep it that way.
The purpose of this list is to
provide help in the BMC Remedy ARSystem and ITSM world
Long Winded Summary:
This type of thing has happened before for various reasonable causes that do
affect some subgroup of the members of the list.
The salient point is that it is not directly related to BMC Remedy ITSM, not
technical in nature, not related to a product or an open position.
Therefore it should not have been posted. At the same time, it does no harm
unless people choose to comment on it, but of course they will.
There are many good causes, many bad causes, thousands of people on the
list, and from over 50 countries.
If we allow posts of petitions on every topic, mentions of every national
holiday or religious festival .
(I used to post happy Canadian thanksgiving etc., I doubt anyone remembers
or noticed I stopped ).
Cheers . Daniel

Honestly, this "petition" should of never been posted. In all fairness,
Deepak needs to find some other means to circulate this request. Like the
old saying goes, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions". You
cannot send something like this out and not expect to start some type of
political discussion. That would be akin to stating a controversial opinion
and not letting anyone else respond to that opinion. Just my $.02

I agree - this isn't the forum to debate the petition.
It's with good intent that Deepak sent out this information, so thanks for
that, and let's leave it at that.
Cheers
Joe
PS: I am not a Federal Contractor, so I have no direct impact of what
happened in the recent weeks but just supporting LJ's call to leave this
debate outside this forum..

Ok...lets stop this thread right there. This isn't a political forum, and
we shouldn't be discussing the topic here, it could get ugly REALLY
fast...so please...everyone that has an opinion (of which I'm one of
them)...lets just not rise to the bait, and go somewhere political to
discuss this subject...but let's not do it here, on this list.

I don't even think that the govt employees should receive backpay - Kind of
makes the last 16 days a joke.
